Read taking charge of your fertility! It will answer all your questions and then some! I used it alongside barrier methods during fertile periods. I never had an unplanned pregnancy, and conceived all my kids within a month or two of trying.

I did it for a few years. I got pregnant with my third while using it, I also got pregnant and miscarried doing it 2 years after my third. When I got pregnant with my third we DTD (do the deed) a week before O (ovulation) and still got pregnant, and the miscarriage was because DH (dear husband) did not pull out in time ... it’s great if you’re in tune with your body, but you and your partner shouldn’t use it unless you can accept an oops baby because it’s obviously not 100% fool proof.

Definitely read Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I’m not totally in for NFP because yes, temping is crucial, but I had very regular cycles and would monitor with ovulation tests, CM (cervical mucus) and cervical changes and use a diaphragm for half the month and nothing for the other half. I’m using a barrier method 100% of the time until my cycles return and regulate again and then I will go back to doing what I did before.
